Donald Keeps working to ‘take care’ of those who have committed crimes FOR HIM….
Using HIS “Justice Dept’…..
Federal prosecutors are seeking to wipe out the seditious conspiracy convictions of 12 members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers who helped plan the Jan. 6, 2021, riots and led the charge into the U.S. Capitol, according to court documents filed Tuesday.
The request, from U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro of D.C., is likely to be granted because prosecutors have broad discretion to pursue or drop criminal charges, even after defendants have been convicted. Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the Oath Keepers and a lead organizer behind the riots, is among those whose convictions Pirro is seeking to erase.
The move to undo the most serious convictions stemming from the assault on the Capitol marks the latest step in President Donald Trump’s quest to rewrite the event’s violent history. A mob of Trump supporters gathered in D.C. and disrupted Congress’s certification of Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential race, echoing Trump’s false claims that the election had been stolen.
If Pirro’s request is approved by the courts, it will wipe out the last remaining convictions related to the Jan. 6 assault.
Trump, on the first day of his second term, issued a blanket pardon that cleared more than 1,500 rioters’ criminal records for offenses related to the insurrection. That pardon did not extend to the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers who had been convicted of seditious conspiracy….

Just like the FACT that Donald J. Trump IS A Convicted Criminal serving as the American Prersident….
